Are all law enforcement officials evil? Absolutely NOT! Are black people or ANY people deserving of the target practice that is ensuing on American City streets, by these rogue officers? HELL NO!

This is TRULY not a color issue, despite black people being (per usual) disproportionately affected by this ridiculous and reckless disregard for human life. But, this boils down to being a BAD PEOPLE issue. The problem is that we have far too many BAD people, occupying critically important high ranking positions of authority. Systems for training these officers to better handle and gauge (as well as to prevent or defuse) hostile situations is entirely NECESSARY!

Not only is it long overdue, but there needs to be some cohesion between U.S. Cities & States, to assure that the same EFFECTIVE systems are established and maintained concurrently. There also needs to be a more serious effort toward evaluating these officers mentally and psychologically, at varying intervals of time throughout the year, as they do their jobs. They need to be head checked as a result of that stressful job, not to mention their life issues that more than likely effects job performance.

The aforementioned (just to name a few) systems for training and mental evaluation are necessary because without even being an officer, we can all attest to how stressful the job appears as we’ve observed officers engage in the acts of actually serving and protecting within our communities. I’ve worked high pressure positions over the years that shot stress levels to their peaks. As a result, this oftentimes led to me being a complete asshole to my staff. God forbid I had a firearm to wield and/or potentially discharge. Who knows what would’ve happened in those offices?

Police Officers are sworn in to Serve; Protect; Enforce Laws; & make Arrests. Not to repeatedly assassinate the citizens. I have an enormous amount of respect for Proper Authority & most certainly appreciate the officers who risk life in limb in the face of indignation, to do their jobs. Kudos to each of you who know in your heart of hearts, whether you can be categorized herein. I likewise have a gut turning, soul burning disdain for Murders & Gangsters wearing Police costumes. Last I checked, that pagan Halloween event takes place once annually. So, it’s high time we expose the frauds, and find out what their true uniforms are. Beyond that, it’s time to put these criminals and perpetrators of organized crime against humanity, in the very Prisons the government has invested Billions of dollars into building to isolate such people from society.

Each of us can observe the actions of Law Enforcement Officials when we witness them treating a citizen unjustly. Each of us can file a report or raise a legitimate complaint in this regard. These things are very EASY for us to do. But to repeatedly turn a blind eye to these heinous atrocities of the vile human condition, is unconscionable at this point! And frankly, we should all be ashamed of ourselves! Though, shamed into correcting the ship, as no one is going to do this for us. We MUST initiate change ourselves!

Examine your motives if you will. If your ambition is to succeed in life just to piss people off, I’d go so far as to say, “Cut that shit out! Grow Up Already!”

I’d imagine such a scheme involving plans to use new found wealth and prosperity, to flaunt recent achievement of new status. This is a putrid cycle of moral indignation. One where status is sought & once obtained, converted into this false power which elevates people in their minds – above others.

Don’t victimize yourself. Instead, press forward with a positive mindset and directives for advancement. Whomever decided to pass up an opportunity to share in your triumphs of life, well, “God Bless ’em!”

Actually, we needed all of those people to help us find the perspective, to focus on accomplishing the mission. So, this means that you too have played this role in the advancement of others.

Bless your existence … mistakes, flaws & all.

Be Incredible!

I’ve managed to evade the “Holy Shit! I’m getting old!” plague which can be a terror.

The closer I get to forty I’m thinking, “Wow! I’m about to enter the realm of the mature. I mean, if you guys are young? Meh … been there done that shit. Good Luck! Ha!

No seriously, live & learn. It’s fun to grow up. But know that there’s no standard of preparedness that everyone should aspire to rise to – you must create it.

Preparations should hinge on the tangible and intangible, not just high expectations and even higher hopes.

Word of advice, “Put away as much money as you can now. It’s the best time to do so, even though you think you don’t have much.

That way, as you grow and mature – so does the accumulation of tangible wealth, to be converted into assets later.” It’s not JUST about money, it’s what you could DO with the money to be a blessing to others.

So again, do your future self the favor of setting them up to be sensational. There could be no greater act of self-love.

Best Wishes!

Always remember that the flow of positive energy in your life starts with your willingness to let go of the negative (worry, stress, fear, anxiety, unbelief etc) in order to fully embrace the positive possibilities bundled into change.

God needs our help! It’s not solely up to him to change our situation, while tailoring it to our liking. Don’t reduce the effectual working power of the supreme being to that of a magician.

God is more of a guide through the darkness of tough times, or a Big Brother (so to speak) who steps in when he notices us struggling to carry a heavy load. We actually have to be CARRYING a burdensome load of some sort.

Think about what you want, pray about it, and then start devising a plan for achievement. Don’t think this method to be crazy, although I’ll be the first to admit that it is entirely unconventional. Trust me, it’ll work like a charm.

People seem to be conditioned – for whatever reason – to pray & then wait for their miracles. (Again, reducing God to the role of a magician in their lives.) Meanwhile, those who pray & work are rewarded.

Prayer is a form of meditation, a deep reflection on what is desired. If you’ve ever felt peace after saying a prayer, that’s a sure sign of having made a deep connection with the foundation of your being.

Often within that state of peacefulness, you’ll recognize how freely ideas, concepts, answers to questions pondered for a while etc, will free flow.

There’s power in centering yourself, slowing down your mind, thoughts and body that a peaceful connection & conversation within can transpire.

Pray, Plan & Execute! If your path in life is ever to change, you’ll actually have to be ON A PATH in order to notice the difference.

Best Wishes

Imagine if never speaking to someone in the tone that you didn’t want to be spoken to in, was enough to prevent occurrence?

Suppose changing your view of the world REALLY allowed you to see the world differently, thus expanding both your Vision and Reality?

“What Goes Around, Comes Around”
This is an irrefutable truth, most often misused by the untrained mouth – of an untrained mind. Those who interpret this beautiful yet simple principle of “Karma” negatively – almost each and every time – not understanding the universal principle of reciprocation.

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”

Whatever you put into the universe comes back to you. Including the good stuff. If you want help, help someone. You’ll gain an instant cheerleader who’ll fight an entire battle side by side with you, out of appreciation to your indomitable will.

If you want the world to change, change your perception of the world. Think beyond what you see daily and live just as you’d like. At the end of the day, what some of us consider ingenious, others dislike.

Best Wishes

I’m thoroughly convinced that most women spend a good portion of their young lives sifting through all of the Mr. Wrong’s that come along. While sifting some even get trapped or trap themselves with children, joint property ownership, marriage etc. Given the joint responsibilities to assets or human lives, it becomes a nightmarish uphill battle reestablishing independence, or in the least freedom from that situation.

Complicating matters here is that most men take a little longer to mature mentally and emotionally. It’s an irrefutable truth that by nature men Hunt & women Nest. While being labeled Mr. Wrong, they’re actually more accurately Mr. NotRightNow (a.k.a. Mr. WannaHaveFun; b.k.a. Mr. OnTheProwl).

By the time they’ve exhausted their immature phase of fun and games, and are ready to settle down, MOST women have grown tired of what they rightfully perceive to be “The Game”.

At this point one of two things happens:

• #1 – Women themselves begin playing “The Game”, and end up screwing over a good man. All the while paying back men for all of the heart & headaches endured through previous encounters. That is, whether they’re the direct cause or not.

– OR –

• #2 – Women become game conscious and men who’ve thought themselves to be done with “The Game”, instead find themselves & their every move under heavy scrutiny. Mind you, they could be noble in their intentions and honestly not messing around on the side; nor possess a desire to. But, both the positive and negative spin on this situation, are more often than not based on previous experience with that particular type of man or others.

Ladies & Gents, be very careful. The worst thing you can do is allow the ugliness of experience to darken your heart & taint your mentality. It’s also terrible to have a mate feel like, “What the hell! If I’m going to be accused of messing around, I might as well make it count.” It’s not always what you say to a person, but sometimes your accusatory reactions can be equally as off putting or damaging.

Surely there are real life instances where both of the gender ascribed traits within this writing, are applicable to both sexes and can be reversed. So, in the general sense my advice is this, “Be clear with those with whom you encounter about your aim, mission, or desires.”

I’ll forever contend that 9 times out of 10, a woman wants the same thing(s) that a man does – and vice versa. If we’d ALL grow up and be more honest with one another about what we truly desire, a world of opportunity would present itself for the taking.

Side with honesty or keep playing “The Game” with ‘Mr. & Mrs. Wrong’.
The choice is yours.

In this post I’d like to speak with you all about vision. There are three definitions that we’ll focus on for reference.

Vision (noun) vi·sion\ˈvi-zhən\
: something that you imagine
: a picture that you see in your mind.
: something that you see or dream especially as part of a religious or supernatural experience.

In light of the above definitions of vision & the image posted, I’d like to speak about the vision of publishing my first book of poetry.

The idea & subsequent dream was born in 2003, though I wouldn’t begin to actively write toward it’s eventual completion until 2007. However, after investing time and energy over and over thru the years into my professional life – not to mention doing all the things that ‘GrownUps’ are supposed to – well, my seemingly not so special side projects were placed on the far back burner.

There’s a huge difference between having a dream and having vision. Everyone dreams, but when you have a vision it compels you to take actions beneficial to the acquisition of the dream.

You see, there’s something altogether life altering about vision. When you really see it, that stuff gets down into your bone marrow and won’t let you rest for a second, until you’ve exhausted all possibilities for achievement. You’re better off never having vision to begin with! Ha!

Life showed me that it was time to start living and making a difference broad scale, as I’d always hoped to be able to. After severing professional ties with a company that had all but enslaved my time and energy 5 years too long, I was reminded of my publishing vision.

To make a long story short, I dove in with both shoes tied tight & within 60 days of walking away, I’d published my first book of poetry, “Love vs. The World”.

I’ve sold many copies of this particular book & it always floors me when someone makes a purchase (now of that or any of my 4 published books). To think, I spent an incalculable amount of time planning, designing, creating, writing for & envisioning the finished product of my words in book form to share with others. And, lo and behold people think & find it necessary to purchase “My Vision” now that I’ve activated it. It’s An Electrifying Experience! I assure you.

I launched this book without a huge PR or marketing campaign, nor celeb fanfare or assistance, begging support from their shady followers on my behalf. “Noooo, I wasn’t ready” (in my Kevin Hart voice. Ha!) I did so instead, fueled by this vision & a dream that wouldn’t let me sleep, without nagging nightmarishly. Once the vision has been written into your psyche & down on paper, the execution requires the hardest work of your life! The first & most critical step being, taking an actual first step toward achievement.

Today I love knowing what it means to fulfill a dream & to have that dream give birth to a plethora of others. I cringe imagining a life where some mundane routine becomes the vital blood filling your veins, and the very air that you breathe.

“No One Said Life Would Be Easy” they say from time to time. Well, Fuck You! “Who Ever Said Life Would Be Hard?” I’ve never actually heard anyone utter the former as a precaution to taking huge risks or being met with adversity. It’s more or less an acknowledgment thrown around after disappointment rears its ugly head. Almost as if people are preprogrammed for failure.

Damn That! I say, “Life Can Be Easy!” Life can be easy, the moment you decide to start living outside of your shitty little comfort zone – which has held you hostage far too long.

Life can be easy the instant you decide that the quality of life for everyone around you needs to change for the better & then you start working in your own special way to fulfill that promise.

Life can be easy when you stop lying to yourself about what’s possible and what’s impossible. Stop being afraid to fail publicly, meanwhile you’re failing miserably in what you perceive to be private.

There comes a time when one must either go for the gusto, or stand aside while the actual dreamers with vision emerge.

The following are 3 entirely helpful tips that everyone who’s presently dating or who intends to date, should both know and apply.

•Tip #1: Take The Time To Get To Know Yourself.

Clearly there’s a tremendous benefit in knowing who you are, when approaching any situation. With prior knowledge, this gives you a concrete basis of understanding what’s suitable, tolerable &/or worth your time and energy. Ask yourself a few questions like: “What kind of person am I? What makes me happy? How important is that happiness? Adding another person to my mix benefits that happiness in what way? What would I like to contribute to another persons life? Fun? Education? Growth as a person? Companionship? Friendship? Sex? Marriage? What’s my chief aim for dating at this time?

•Tip #2: Define Those Things That You Desire To Accomplish As A Result Of Dating.

There could be nothing worse than dating without an aim, even if it’s just for fun; companionship; conversation; social interaction; casual sex etc. Having this clearly defined helps ease stress &/or confusion brought about through miscommunication/misunderstanding of the process. You’ll find yourself far more equipped to readily identify situations that aren’t conducive to your directional purpose as outlined. Otherwise you waste time that can never be recouped and incur frustrations that can be easily avoided.

•Tip #3: Define What Dating Is & Isn’t!

How many expect to find success on the dating front without guidelines or structure is laughable. It’s like taking a road trip without clear directions, likewise without map or GPS assistance. Can you say, “Extended Trip”? Ha! Establish the ‘Rules’ here & trust me, it’s okay to do so. What constitutes a date? What’s appropriate date attire? What are appropriate dating venues versus those inappropriate? What’s appropriate dating behavior & conversation? What’s completely off limits? You’re encouraged to dig a bit deeper and ask additional questions more closely suited to your personality & lifestyle makeup. Establishing ‘Rules’ in this regard should make it a lot easier to communicate and plan a date that has an actual chance of succeeding.

These are great places to start! Keep in mind that we all develop and are stretched a tad based on those we date – positively or negatively. Be clear about your desires & allow those to become your road map.

Hmmm, interesting concept, no? Well think of it this way, “People who witness your growth first hand, fall into a class of ‘Stone Cold Believers’ in your Mission, Potential and Abilities to Create Results! How so? They’ve Witnessed your strides to turn a mere Dream into a Goal, which is naturally Fueled by a Burning Passion to make a Reality. And those my friends, are among the GREATEST Supporters you’ll ever have!” Be Patient With Them …

When a “Movement” begins those are the people who RUN to your success the Fastest! Their urgency helps generate the momentum necessary to shock and awe others, and further assist in spreading the word of achievement. The majority who are exposed to & who understand the value of your gifts, will marvel at the sheer number of eager supporters all of a sudden, as if to wonder, “Who wouldn’t have gotten on board with this movement from the start? DUH!”

So, give the slow poke supporters a bit of slack, for in the grand scheme of things, they’ll become your Greatest Asset!

Art and the interpretation thereof is a many splendid thing. Art is supposed to evoke emotion & incite thoughts or conversation.

In my opinion the imagery above depicts an interesting dynamic in thought process for the sexes. The psychology of Male vs. Female interactions is profoundly evident here. Men and Women invest themselves emotionally into relationships a little differently. Both the physical and emotional characteristics are depicted remarkably in the portrait.

Most Women invest themselves from an ‘Emotionally Spiritual’ standpoint and (as evidenced in her right hand securely clutching him high around the neck) they seek to hold on to their love at all costs – having opened her soul to the encounter. Although she holds the power to destroy the relationship (as depicted with the knife in her left hand) she’d much rather spare her love interest initially and incur the pain of his attempt to leave. This is an act that will undoubtedly hurt her more (as displayed with the knife being directed at her tightly grasped left hand), than it will the man. Though her investment is firm.

Conversely, most Men invest themselves from an ‘Emotionally Mental’ standpoint. It’s no easy thing for a man to open up and give his all to a relationship. When he does he takes it seriously & does so protecting his vested interest (evidenced in his right hand tightly embracing her in the core of her back), with a desire to become her foundation & provide her every need. This investment isn’t taken lightly for a man, so if things go awry at her doing, the relationship investment deserves imminent death (as displayed in the knife being directed at her neck), and he feels no obligation to prevent that.

Not until Men & Women grow in love securely, will they ever be able to blend both the innate physical & emotional characteristics explained above, to form an unbreakable bond solidified in Truth, Love & Understanding.
